On a cold Tuesday night at Clarence Park we gave second places St Albans City a run for their money but still suffered a 3-2 defeat.

 The Saints took the lead as early as the third minute. Ben Walsh scoring with a cracking 25 yard free kick. Why the kick was given no one in the crowd seem to know. Just one of many strange decisions made by the referee.

City doubled their lead just before half time when Ram Marwa scored flowing from a Walsh corner. Simon Martin headed in a third from a Matt Hann free kick to make it three and City seemed to be in control.

Kris Lee reduced the deficit five minutes later before we were then reduced to 10 men when Steve Heffer was sent off following an incident with Tom Davis, who surprisingly remained on the pitch.

 We upped our game and pulled another goal back through Lee but City just held on for the win.
